Dishes
Pork BellyPork belly is a cut of meat from the pig's abdomen, characterized by alternating layers of fat and lean meat, which gives it the name 'five-layered' or 'five-striped'. Common cooking methods include braising, stir-frying, or stewing. During cooking, the fat melts, resulting in tender meat with an aromatic flavor.
Winter MelonWinter melon is a refreshing vegetable dish with winter melon as the main ingredient. To prepare it, peel and cut the winter melon into pieces, which can be stewed with meat or seafood, stir-fried, or made into a soup. During cooking, the original flavor of the winter melon is preserved, showcasing its unique sweetness and tenderness.
Sichuan Wide Rice NoodlesSichuan wide rice noodles are made from sweet potato or potato starch noodles, typically mixed with chili oil, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, and vinegar. Sometimes served with bean sprouts, cucumber strips, and peanuts, or cooked in broth.
Free-range ChickenFree-range local chicken, slaughtered and prepared by stewing, boiling, or braising. Main ingredient is chicken, seasoned with ginger and scallions, optionally with dried mushrooms and goji berries to preserve the original flavor.
Dried Green BeansDry beans are made by sun-drying fresh beans until they lose moisture, resulting in a deep green or yellow-brown color. Before cooking, they must be soaked in water to restore their softness. They are commonly stewed with meat, absorbing the meat juices to become flavorful, and can also be stir-fried or used in soups.
Pork RibsPork ribs are part of a pig's spine, typically including meat and bones. To prepare them, rinse the ribs and blanch them to remove any odor, then cook using methods such as stewing, boiling, roasting, or frying. Common seasonings like soy sauce, cooking wine, and ginger slices are added to enhance flavor.
Sauces Beef BallsSauces牛丸 (Sauces Beef Balls) are made primarily from beef, mixed with a secret blend of seasonings, then minced into a meat paste and shaped into balls. The unique feature is that the balls contain a savory broth inside; during cooking, the high temperature melts the inner broth, causing it to flow out when bitten, delivering a delicious flavor.

To prepare, fill dumpling wrappers with the filling, arrange them neatly in a pan, add适量 oil, and fry until the bottoms turn golden and crispy. Then add a small amount of water and steam until the tops of the dumplings are fully cooked.
Daylily FlowersYellow chives are dried plant flowers, primarily made from yellow chives (scientific name: Hemerocallis citrina), harvested and then sun-dried or oven-dried. To prepare, they are typically soaked first, then stir-fried with other ingredients such as shredded meat, eggs, and wood ear mushrooms, or used in soups to enhance the aroma and texture of the dish.
